As infants, we can recognize our mothers within hours of birth. In fact, we can recognize the of our mother’s face well before we can recognize her body shape. It's how the brain can carry out such a function at such a young age, especially since we don’t learn to walk and talk until we are over a year old. By the time we are adults, we have the ability to distinguish around 100,000 faces. How can we remember so many faces when many of us find it difficult to such a simple thing as a phone number? The exact process is not yet fully understood, but research around the world has begun to define the specific areas of the brain and processes for facial recognition.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology believe that they have succeeded in a specific area of the brain called the fusiform face area (FFA), which is used only for facial recognition. This means that recognition of familiar objects such as our clothes or cars, is from in the brain. Researchers also have found that the brain needs to see the whole face for recognition to take place. It had been thought that we only needed to see certain facial features. Meanwhile, research at University College London has found that facial recognition is not a single process, but involves three steps. The first step appears to be an analysis of the physical features of a person’s face, which is similar to how we scan the bar codes of our groceries. In the next step, the brain decides whether the face we are looking at is already known or unknown to us. And finally, the brain furnishes the information we have collected about the person whose face we are looking at. This complex is done in a split second so that we can behave quickly when reacting to certain situations.

Answer 1

【答案】J；H；B；E；F；I；D；G；C
【解析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，講述的是關(guān)于人類對(duì)于面部識(shí)別的研究，研究結(jié)果顯示，大腦中存在一個(gè)特定的區(qū)域，該區(qū)域有別于其他的區(qū)域，該區(qū)域?qū)ｉT負(fù)責(zé)面部識(shí)別。該過(guò)程是一個(gè)負(fù)責(zé)的過(guò)程，不是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的過(guò)程，包含三個(gè)步驟，這些步驟（過(guò)程）都是在一瞬間完成的，這樣我們就可以在一定的場(chǎng)合做出迅速的反應(yīng)。
（1）考查名詞。根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處應(yīng)填一個(gè)名詞，即我們的母親面部的……，選項(xiàng)中可以選擇的名詞只有3個(gè)，即processing , recall和composition，分別意為過(guò)程、進(jìn)程；召回，回憶 ；作為，作曲，構(gòu)成 。此處句意為，實(shí)際上，在我們認(rèn)識(shí)她們（母親）的身體體型之前，我們就能很好的認(rèn)識(shí)她們的面部結(jié)構(gòu)。因此選擇J。
（2）考查形容詞。根據(jù)句意和句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處應(yīng)填一個(gè)形容詞，意為在如此小的年紀(jì)，大腦是如何使用這個(gè)功能的，這是非常……（的現(xiàn)象），明顯fascinating 吸引人的，迷人的，讓人感興趣的，比較合適。
（3）考查動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)上一句的“How can we remember so many faces ”可知，此處講的是記憶/記住東西的問(wèn)題，即記住10萬(wàn)張臉，記住一個(gè)電話號(hào)碼，因此選擇recall意為回想起，句意為，為什么我們能記住多達(dá)10張臉，而有的人卻連回憶一個(gè)電話號(hào)碼都覺(jué)得很困難。
（4）考查形容詞。根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處填的是一個(gè)形容詞，此時(shí)形容詞只剩一個(gè)E項(xiàng)未選。意為必須的，該句句意為，我們還無(wú)法理解具體的過(guò)程是怎樣的，但是全世界都已經(jīng)開(kāi)始了研究，為了尋找大腦的那個(gè)特定區(qū)域，和面部識(shí)別所必須的過(guò)程。
（5）考查動(dòng)詞。根據(jù)前面的 have succeeded in 可知，此處填的是一個(gè)doing 形式的單詞，因此只能選擇C或者F，C意為過(guò)程，進(jìn)程，F(xiàn)意為查找、定位，根據(jù)句意為可知F正確。句意為，麻省理工學(xué)院的研究員們相信他們已經(jīng)找到了大腦中被稱為FFA的一個(gè)特殊區(qū)域。
（6）考查副詞。根據(jù)上一句的“which is used only for facial recognition”可知，大腦中有一塊特定的區(qū)域是專門負(fù)責(zé)人臉識(shí)別的，因此，該處選擇I意為，我們對(duì)熟悉物品的識(shí)別，比如衣服或者汽車，是來(lái)自大腦別處的（是和人臉識(shí)別所用到的那部分大腦是不同的，來(lái)自不同的地方）。
（7）考查副詞。根據(jù)句子機(jī)構(gòu)可知，此處要選擇一個(gè)詞來(lái)修飾動(dòng)詞thought, 因此要尋則副詞，這里修飾動(dòng)詞的副詞只有一個(gè)，那就是D項(xiàng)，previously，意為之前地，先前地。句意為，之前人們認(rèn)為，我們只需要看到某些面部特征即可。
（8）考查副詞。根據(jù)but可知，前后意思是相反的，句意為，倫敦大學(xué)學(xué)院的研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，面部識(shí)別不是一個(gè)單一的過(guò)程，而是（instead）是包含這三個(gè)步驟。
（9）考查名詞。根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處填的是一個(gè)名詞，根據(jù)上文名詞的選擇，再根據(jù)上文的“ research at University College London has found that facial recognition is not a single process”，可知此處只有C項(xiàng)，processing過(guò)程，進(jìn)程符合句意。句意為，這個(gè)復(fù)雜的過(guò)程在一瞬間就完成了，因此，我們就可以迅速地對(duì)某種情形作出反應(yīng)。
